• Identify, resolve and mitigate technical issues, including EOW claims and the assessment of technical risks and opportunities.

Job requirements and experience

• Completed bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.


• One to three years of relevant professional experience.


• Fundamental knowledge of Weibull analysis, FMEA/FMECA, root cause analysis and failure analysis.


• Understanding of drivetrain, generation, pitch and yaw systems, power conversion and SCADA.


• Basic knowledge of condition monitoring techniques such as vibration analysis, thermography and laboratory analysis.


• Confident data-handling skills using Excel, Python or MATLAB.


• Basic knowledge of ISO 14224 and IEC 61400.


• Business-fluent English and strong communication and negotiation skills.

Advantageous, but not essential
